"The Big Four"

by Agatha Christie

Chapter 10

94/197 pages

In my third post I will be talking about the main conflicts in my book. There are two main conflicts and one of them is man vs man and it's external, and the other one is man vs society and it is internal. The first conflict is about Poirot and his friend Hastings investigating a group of people called "The Big Four". It is a group of four very powerful and dangerous people. Every time Poirot and Hastings discover something about them and are near solving the mystery "The Big Four" tries to kill them. Fortunately, every time they are caught Poirot manages to escape with Hastings. The second conflict is about Poirot and Hastings revealing their discoveries to the world. Even if the two friends find out something about the group they can't share it with the rest of the world because every member of the group is a celebrity and is important to his/her country. If they accused a so important man/woman they would be probably announced as madmen. 

I think that Poirot will call his friends at the Scotland Yard and try to prove that the celebrities are in fact criminals and/or catch them doing something against the law. Maybe something else happens but I didn't read that part yet.
